I am a retired Air Traffic Controller living with my wife in the North Carolina mountains. The occasional rumor of UFO sightings by pilots left me with a strong suspicion that we are not alone. I am currently running Seti@home on three computers, with a fourth one about to come online. Even my music studio runs Seti@home all night long.
Of course we do keep a sharp eye out looking off our mountain. Once, a VERY low and slow fly over by a B-2 bomber almost convinced us E.T. was here. I do hope E.T. doesn't fly anything that scary looking when he arrives.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
